Doing well by doing good: The new generation of tech entrepreneurs

July 18, 2013

Just got back from a fantastic trip to Calgary, Alberta for some r’n’r, the Stampede and most importantly, AccelerateAB!
AccelerateAB billed itself as the largest gathering of tech entrepreneurs in Alberta history and with +300 people in attendance, that was probably true.
I was lucky enough to sit down with some great companies as well as participate on a panel about strategies and techniques on selling.
The highlight for many was hearing Mozilla’s CEO Gary Kovacs talk about how the next 2 billion consumers will be accessing the web via their mobile devices, and how smartphones like FirefoxOS have the potential to radically accelerate the way economies grow and people escape poverty in emerging markets.
